“I’m not leaving!”
Lucas grabbed Yasmeen’s wrist when she was pushing him. He then pulled her and hugged her in his
arms.
“Lucas, let go of me! I want to be alone right now!”
Yasmeen struggled.
She didn’t know what was going on with her. It was as if a shameful part of her was exposed to Lucas
and it made her lose control.
How did he find out?
She thought she hid it well, but he still found out anyways.
Lucas was nice to her in the past few days because of the kidney, right?
She thought Lucas really accepted her feelings, she thought that she finally managed to get into his
heart. But what was this?
“I’m begging you, please let me be alone!”
Yasmeen moved her hand and tried to push Lucas out once again, but Lucas grabbed her hand. She
could feel his warm breath on her face. His eyes turned dim.
“Yasmeen, do you really think that I love you because of this kidney?”
She looked away and didn’t say anything, but her eyes were getting redder.
Lucas scoffed, “Fine. If you really think so, then I’ll give it back to you.”
He then pushed her away and left the room.
Yasmeen was stunned.
What did he mean by giving it back to her?
What did he mean by that?
Yasmeen’s mind went blank. His words kept repeating in her mind.
When she finally realized what was happening, her face went pale, and she quickly rushed out of the
room.
“Lucas, don’t you dare!”
“You can donate it to me, but I also have the choice to not accept it. Isn’t that right?”
Lucas stood in the corridor. He looked disheartened and crestfallen.
“Don’t do this to me!”
“This is on you! Yasmeen, I don’t want your kidney anymore. If you think I only love you because of
this, then let me ask you something. Did you ask for my permission when you decided to donate your
kidney to me? Did you ask if I want to be indebted to you or not? What now, you can decide things on
your own, but I can’t? If you think that a kidney can determine my feelings, then I’ll give it back to you!
You can give it to whoever else and I don’t give a damn!”
He then turned around and leave.
Lucas was really mad this time!
This was Yasmeen’s first thought.
Lucas ignored and shunned her a lot, but he never really got angry. There weren’t many people that
could make Lucas get angry.
And Yasmeen was the lucky one.
But why did she feel pain in her heart? Why did she feel so sad?
Lucas said he didn’t give a damn about her kidney!
Yasmeen finally shed a tear. Her eyes were extremely red at this point.
Patrick sighed and said, “Yasmeen, you’re being a bitch about this.”
“You don’t understand.”
Yasmeen’s voice was coarse.
Patrick went up and hugged her by the shoulder. He said in a low voice, “I may not know much about
love, but when Lucas came to us, I can see that he really wants to marry you. He really loves you in his
own way. When dad said that he should give you your kidney back, Lucas said that it was already
fused with his body. You gave it to him, and he wouldn’t give it back. He wants to treasure his life so
that he can take care of you for as long as you live. He also found you a compatible kidney donor
because he wants to make sure that you’ll live a safe and healthy life. He wants to spend his life with
you. He didn’t even flinch when dad whipped him. If he just feels indebted to you, I don’t think he will do
so much. Yasmeen, you tend to mix your feeling of love with other factors. Speaking from a male’s
perspective, I don’t think that we would ever give up our love and marriage for something insignificant.”
Yasmeen was shocked.
She didn’t know.
Lucas never told her anything about this.
Just now, she thought that Lucas agreed to date her because he felt grateful. Was what Patrick said
the truth instead?
She stared at her brother dazedly, she didn’t know what to say.
Patrick continued saying, “If Lucas didn’t love you and was only together with you because of
obligation, then based on his personality he would already give you back your kidney. But he didn’t do
that. Instead, he hid the fact that he knew about the truth, he was afraid that you found out that he
knew. I think he also did a lot for you. I don’t think he would do so much just because he felt grateful.
Worst-case scenario, let’s say that the feeling he has for you is gratitude. What’s wrong with that?
Feelings are still feelings. If he is just grateful and still yet wants to be with you forever, you have
already won his heart. Or are you saying that you want to push him away and let another woman be
with him? Not only you’ll lose your kidney, but you’ll also lose your heart. You would lose him, will you
be willing to live with that?”
“No!”
Yasmeen felt pain in her heart just thinking about it.
She planned to spend her whole life with Lucas. Why would she give him to someone else?
Her heart hurt a lot just thinking about Lucas getting together with Michele or Penny.
Patrick laughed after seeing Yasmeen hesitating. He said, “Am I right, Yasmeen? Be it love or
gratitude, there’s no need to be so black and white about it. Since Lucas likes you, then you’ll be his
future wife. If you still want to marry him, isn’t this a God-given opportunity? Truthfully speaking, men
are not as free as you think we are. We have many responsibilities on our shoulders such as careers
and families. We are born with many responsibilities. For you, love may be everything, but to me and
Lucas it’s not the only thing in life. If you want to force all your feelings onto Lucas and make him only
think about loving you, then I would advise you to give up on Lucas. You can find yourself a happy-go-
lucky man instead, then he can shower you with love and affection every day. You guys won’t have to
do anything else, how nice.”
Yasmeen felt disgusted upon hearing what Patrick said.
Then she wouldn’t be looking for a husband.
She would just be keeping a boy toy.
Why would she want a boy toy that didn’t have a temper or a personality?
Yasmeen felt much more reassured after this.
Maybe what Patrick said was right.
Feelings were just feelings after all. She was making a mole out of an anthill.
The jealousy in her heart was rekindling her feelings when she thought about what would happen if
Lucas left her and be with some other woman. He would treat them how he treated her, and she
wouldn’t have that.
No!
Lucas belonged to her!
He belonged to her only now and forever!
She squeezed Patrick’s cheek after organizing her thoughts. She laughed, “You’re the best brother one
could ever have. Thank you. If I get him back again, I’ll watch your back no matter what outrageous
things you do.”
“Go now. I don’t think Lucas is in a good mood right now. You made him angry just now, you should
think about how to reconcile with him.”
Patrick pushed Yasmeen’s hand away. What he said made Yasmeen pull a long face.
